I just left this same review on Yelp and I'm posting it on Google also because I want to let everyone know how awesome Heather is ...
Let me start by saying that Heather is amazing! She's not listed on the website yet, so it's a little harder to find examples of her work, but hopefully she will be soon.
My stylist retired and a friend, who also went to that person, and I had to find someone new. My friend saw Heather first and loved her color. The main thing that my friend told me, which really sold me, was that Heather listened carefully to her when she explained what she wanted her hair to look like in the end. She was so happy with the result, that she referred me. I am writing this review because I absolutely love my hair and want to explain why Heather is so talented.
I have been coloring my naturally brown (and gray) hair ash blonde for a few years now and anyone who has an ashy tone, whether blonde or brunette, knows that ash is hard to get right, let alone maintain for any amount of time, without yellow and/or brassiness creeping in. I really liked my former stylist, but I found that my hair was hit or miss and sometimes I wasn't happy with it. Once Heather started doing my hair, the color has been perfect and easy to maintain with an occasional purple shampoo and masque, which I apply at home, between appointments. She's saving me money due to needing fewer and less extensive touch ups and I can't say enough about how beautiful the color is.
One important point that I want to mention is that the friend who referred me to Heather is also blonde, but her hair is golden blonde with sun-kissed highlights - a completely different tone than mine. Heather is an expert with both warm and cool blonde tones, which is really important to me (because blonde hair does not GROW on my head - as mentioned, I'm naturally, full-on brunette) or anyone else trying to get blonde hair right!
I also brought my preteen daughter in for a fun color and cut (which she desperately needed). Heather suggested a rich burgundy-red. The color and cut were gorgeous my daughter and I were extremely happy.
Besides being a brilliant colorist, Heather is very sweet and easy to talk to. Even my preteen daughter loved her - any anyone with a preteen kid knows that they don't love ANYONE! That's huge.
Thank you Heather!
